A/N: Hey y'all, I am back, yes I am now living in Texas and love it. Sorry for the long break than planned, we had to take an unexpected trip back to Washington for my brother's graduation which we didn't attend. It was a whole thing but at least we didn't find out about any more secret relatives like my cousins. But I got to see Moonkaz in person one more time which was fun! (Btw I am definitely looking into writing a fic for that ship we talked about ;)) He also gave me this beautiful pink rose necklace! Thanks again for it Moonkaz I really love it!

Anyways this will be posted inbetween my normal updates (News Makes Love and Werid Wooing) as a treat for y'all since I was gone longer then I said and was gone long.

Thanks to Oliver on Tumblr for the idea. I hope you like what I did with the idea!

"One would wonder how it came to this. How this was the only way that they could see this through the way they wanted? Maybe if we take a look into all the interactions up to this point we will see the path that changed everything."

Regulus and James first met when it was Regulus's first year of Hogwarts (James's second) on the platform for 9 ¾ waiting for the train to come so they could load on with the other students. That was where this spiral of a lifetime began for them.

With the hustle and bustle of everyone around Regulus, it was overwhelming. From many kids his age to 18 or even more, if they were held back. There were so many kids, it was the most Regulus had ever seen in his entire life. Then again there weren't many in the situation either. That was why Regulus was subtly hiding behind his older brother Sirius to try to use him like a human shield. Sirius was more adept to handle stuff like this since he was the firstborn therefore the heir of the Black family.

So, Regulus was looking desperately for his best friends Evan Rosier and Barty Crouch Jr. but since also being older and therefore taller Sirius was blocking the view for the most part which right now was mostly a blessing. Regulus looked around and quickly realized that they had lost their parents in the sea of everyone around. Probably talking to relatives to boast about how both of their sons are at Hogwarts now and how great they were going to be. At least that is what they did last year at that time, though Regulus suspected it would be more about him than Sirius after he was sorted into Gryffindor.

"James! Remus! Come over here!" Sirius shouted to those people and it made Regulus jump a bit. This time he couldn't help but fully hide behind his brother when said boys came over. Sirius chuckled at him but let him get away with it for now.

"Hey, Sirius? How was your summer?" One boy asked with dark skin, hazel eyes, square glasses, and jet black hair that was a cute curly mess. He was smiling at Sirius when talking. The other one next to him was deathly pale white with scars all over his body in weird places. He had golden brown eyes and brown hair with variations in how dark or light it was.

"It was great!" Sirius said and Regulus knew that he was lying straight in front of everyone but they seemed to not notice. "Anyways here I present," Oh no was all that Regulus could think about what was going to happen next. "My little brother Reggie!" Sirius said stepping from in front of Regulus but he had planned according and jumped behind him again. Sirius rolled his eyes and pushed Regulus in front of them.

The two boys seemed happy to see him but all Regulus wanted to do is run on the train that was suddenly there waiting for the last and new students to arrive.

The boy with jet-black hair stepped in front of Regulus and pulled him into a hug which surprised Regulus but went along with it anyway. "Hi, my name is James! Sirius told me so much about you and-" James was caught off mid-sentence. Because at that moment Evan magically appeared out of what seemed like thin air.

"There you are, Reggie! C'mon Barty is saving us a compartment, Pandora found this red-haired girl and she is sitting with us. Which reminds me I finally found the Dumbordole's chocolate frog card. That means that I only need to find-" Evan never missing a beat just took Regulus off before he could say anything. Not that he wasn't thankful for what his friend did for him. He wanted out of the situation as soon as possible. Being with Sirius's friends made Regulus feel extermly awakward all things considered.

"No, this can't be it. This cannot be were everything changed paths. This was planned from the beginning. This was meant to happen. It was planned to happen. Maybe looking into the other Rosier twin will give me some answers. The boy one did say something about someone that was not suposed to be there being in another compartment."

Pandora was walking around trying to find out where her twin brother had run off to with no sucess. Might as well go into a compartment for all of them. She went to the first one that looked empty enough and there was a girl with red hair sitting in it already with a boy with black hair. The compartment looked as though it could fit all of them (inculding the 2 already in there).

"Hello, I hope you don't mind but my friends and I would like to sit here with you guys. Is that okay?" Pandora asks the 2 elder students who just looked at eachother and shruged.

"Sure why not? Right Severus?" The girl asks the boy named Severus and he was eyeing her suspuisusly.

"Are you a first-year?" Severus asks and the girl hit him on the shoulder, a look of "Really?" was now the girl's expression. Pandora—not seeing anything wrong with the line of questioning—respond with a nod in comformation, that yes she was in fact a first-year. Though Severus was to focused on the expression on—what Pandora assumed— friend's face and something of a "Ohhhh," was looking at the girl.

"I don't see a problem. Ow! Okay Lily. Sorry about the quetion I just never have seen you before around here." Severus said looking at Lily with a look as if asking if taht was enough for her and Lily nodded in coformation.

"Thank you," Pandora says plopping down next to Lily and then the slience became awakard. Well at least to Lily and Severus, Pandora was in her own world humming to a tune that only she could understand.

"So, what is your name?" Lily finally getting that Gryffindor bravery asked hoping that she did not sound as stupid as it seemed.

"Pandora Rosier,"

"Pretty name mine is Lily Evans and over their is Severus Snape." Lily said pointing at Severus who waved back. Pandora blinked at the girl and at the boy.

"So, your," Pandora coughed, "Muggle-borns?" Pandora personally didn't have as strong as beliefs as her parnets did about how all Muggle-borns and Half-bloods should be killed and onely Pure-bloods should be able to practice magic. Pandora didn't know why they cared so much about it. It just seemed to be frank dumb. The Weasleys for example, don't care anymore and they used to be close to the Rosiers but now since one of their eldest boys Fredrick (or was it Gadian) started dating a Muggle-born they had gotten into many fights and now they don't talk. But Pandora had never met let alone had any interaction with any Muggle-born or Half-blood or hell, even a Muggle in general. She was not sure how to proceed with this. What if her friends didn't think the same way? What if it got to her parnets? Pandora knew Evan didn't care like her as much and Barty's family always seemed more lax about them existing in the same space but never marrying one so he should be fine. Then there is Regulus whose family Padora would agrue hated them the must. How would Regulus react to it? Pandora never got any longer to look into that thought more.

"Here! Here is where it drifts away. But it can't be where it completely goes upside down. Maybe I need to look into this one more. It can't have screwed up this early on. I planned to much for that to happen."

"I am a Muggle-born," Lily said gerusting to herself. "And Severus is a Half-Blood. Wait, your not one of those racists are you?"

"No, and neither are my friends." Pandora said wanting to clear that air as quickly as possible. She might as well have been praying in that moment that nothing would go wrong. That was when Barty came into the compartment.

"There you are, Pandora! Oh hello to…" Barty says leaving room the others in the compartment to respond.

"Lily Evans and this is Severus Snape," Lily says for her friend whpo just nodded in confirmation that was his name.

"Great, Evan is off getting Reggie," Barty says sounding tried and there was a beat of silence that followed that was neither awkward or comfortable just a weird in between. "Oh how rude of me. My name is Barty. Is it your guys first year to?" Barty asks the 2 revlatively unknown people in the cart of the train.

"No we are both in our second year." This time it was Severus who answered shocking the people in the compartment including Lily. "I am in Slytherin and Lily is in Gryffindor. What houses do you want to be in?"

"Well, I don't know about Barty but I want to be in Ravenclaw. I love learning about Moon frogs and Snorkark's—"

"What are those? I never read about them before." Lily asks Pandora who looked like she was given the best gift anyone could give. Someone wanted to know about her theories, her ideas, and the creatures she swears are true.

"The reason that you have never read about them, like in books "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them" is because they are more beliefs then real," Pandora explains gesturing a lot as if that was going to prove her point. Lily seemed confused at this statement.

"Like wizarding myths?"

"I guess that is one way to look at it. They are old beliefs that we used to hold as religious truths but fell out of fashion when we had to be christians during the burnings. Along with christianity conjuring Pagan and other regions in the process. So they fell out and no one really thinks about them as much. They are seen as equivalent as fairytales. Though some still believe and I am one of those people."

"So like Greek Mythology."
"What is that?"

"You don't know what Greek Mythology is? You will love it! I brought some books with me on it and—" Lily was not able to finish that statement, though later she did but in that moment was when Evan came barling through the door, dragging along a confused and disgruntled-looking Regulus Black.

"Who are these people?" Evan asks while Regulus just looked at the 2 elder students in the train car. He knew one thing. They weren't purebloods. He would have seen some pictures of them on the traps. What were his Mother and Father going to think?

"Here! Here is were it starts. But knowing one person or even 2 can't change the course so drastically that my whole plan goes to shit. If only I could understand what happens more."

Dumbledore proceed to fast forward watching as the interactions go quicker and everything seems to go smoothly. It got to the sorting where Regulus was put in Slytherin and Severus, Evan and Barty where waiting with open arms. He loom his eyes sparking every now or then when there were interactions he had accounted for. That was when he got to dorm a quick moment caught the old man's attention.

"What was that? It looked like a letter. . .who would have sent a letter to him?" Dumbledore wond it back to the moment that caught the attention of one of the best wizards in history.

Regulus had made it back to his dorm in one piece. The older Slytherins can be bortale to any new student. You weren't a Pureblood? Why the bloody hell are you here? You're kind don't even belong here. You are a Pureblood but your family has no history of being in Slytherin? Oh so you think you are so different don't you? Well you aren't one of us and you will never be. You are a Pureblood and have a history of being in Slytherin? That makes you one of the mjority. You are just a boring copy of a copy. If you were normal you were boring over done. If you were unqie then you don't belong here you arn't good enough. It is crazy how you can't please any of those people and they will degrade you for it.

Luckly Severus was there to tell them to knock it off and they did.

"Wait what. How did this happen? Why are they listening to him?" Dumbledore was speaking and looking around rapidly as the time went forward and backward giving him no answer to his question. "Where things going wrong even before this?"
